Several of our townsmen took il
the Catholic picnic at Island Park last
Saturday, and expressed themselves
well pleased with their visit.
Don't forget the campmeeting, under
the auspices of the M. E. Church, S..

Messrs. r. G. Anderson, Brit Bri-
ming, Eliza Lewis, Walter Barns, HI.
S. Nicely, Jas. Owens, and George
Kearns were the victims of painful
accident at Middleway last Friday.
These gentlemen were assisting in
helping to take down the dilapidated
M. P. Church, which the members
purpose to build in modern style.
In the morning whilst the first three
named gentlemen were assisting in
taking down the rafters, portion of
the walls gave away, and with acrash,
the joist, rafters, and men fell through
10 the floor. Mr.. Anderson had one
of his legs broken and received ugly
bruise about the head and face. Both
Messrs. Brining and Lewis received
painful external and internal injuries,
but not such serious ones as Mr.. An
derson. The last four named gentle
men attempted to resume the work in
the evening, but scarcely had they
begun until the remainder of the wall
gave away and let them down with a
considerable jar. All of them we're
hurt more or less, but not seriously.
